The way your question is worded, the probability is zero. One ace is not two aces.
Step-by-step explanation:
That is the answer if the equation looks like this:
Answer:
C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
At a picnic,
Number of adults is 3 times as number of children.
Number of women is twice as number of men.
Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x
Let number of children be c
Let number of men be m
Let number of women be w
# Number of women is twice as number of men, w = 2m
# Number of adults is 3 times as number of children, w + m = 3c
2m + m = 3c (∴ w=2m )
c = m
Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x
∵ c + m + w = x
m + m + 2m = x
4m = x
Number of men, 
Hence, The total number of men will be
Answer:
Explanation:
You can build a two-way relative frequency table to represent the data:
These are the columns and rows:
Car No car Total
Boys
Girl
Total
Fill the table
- <em>30% of the children at the school are boys</em>
Car No car Total
Boys 30%
Girl
Total
- <em>60% of the boys at the school arrive by car</em>
That is 60% of 30% = 0.6 × 30% = 18%
Car No car Total
Boys 18% 30%
Girls
Total
By difference you can fill the cell of Boy and No car: 30% - 18% = 12%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl
Total
Also, you know that the grand total is 100%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl
Total 100%
By difference you fill the total of Girls: 100% - 30% = 70%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 70%
Total 100%
- <em>80% of the girls at the school arrive by car</em>
That is 80% of 70% = 0.8 × 70% = 56%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 56% 70%
Total 100%
Now you can finish filling in the whole table calculating the differences:
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 56% 14% 70%
Total 74% 26% 100%
Having the table completed you can find any relevant probability.
The probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car is the total of the column Car: 74%.
That is because that column represents the percent of boys and girls that that arrive by car: 18% of the boys, 56% of the girls, and 74% of all the the children.
